How long has CA been working on the rails????
@Diplom4cyBassRepublican5mos5MO
Fifteen years for a non-existent, unnecessary high-speed rail from…wait for it… Bakersfield to Merced.
@PlatypusJimLibertarian5mos5MO
Isn't it estimated to cost $128 billion? If so that's $581,818.181 per mile. That means $3 billion will build 5.1 miles of track. How much are those train tickets going to cost?
@Diplom4cyBassRepublican5mos5MO
Critical lifeline!? You must be joking? It's not even 3% of the $128 Billion in costs that the California High Speed Rail Authority projects.
It would be much cheaper, faster & more efficient to just pay for airline tickets. No tearing up critical infrastructure either.
